I am idealistic, thoughtful, and driven.

My Self-Summary

I am intelligent, educated, visionary, successful, and as modest as all hell. I find pleasure in writing and acting. I have a great sense of humour and eclectic tastes in music and entertainment. I discovered the Internet fifteen years ago and haven't really left it since. I'm generally happy in life and I am looking forward to finding out where it ends up taking me.

What I’m doing with my life

I recently finished my PhD and commenced a new job in Malaysia working for an NGO advocating for the rights of consumers. Last year I published a book which is available on Amazon.com. For fun I occasionally do some acting for screen or stage, and would like to have time to play some more PS3.

I’m really good at

Writing, acting and coding.

The first things people usually notice about me

Apparently I'm "fascinating". I'm not entirely sure why. Sometimes when they say that I feel like a particularly intriguing microbe being examined under a microscope. People often notice that I'm quiet and considerate, which is true but sounds boring. Once you get to know me, you'll find I'm actually anything but. I will spout on endlessly to you about the things I believe in, which are many, as I have a strong sense of fairness.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

The six things I could never do without

My MacBook, my iPhone, my DVDs, my family, my brain and sex.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Where I might be in five years' time. I am ambitious, and less risk-averse than most people. So twice I have left my job with nothing firm lined up to replace it, and so far it has turned out for the best - if not financially, then in terms of personal development. Money has never been my biggest driver; if anything, I suppose that achievement is: making a positive difference in the world.

On a typical Friday night I am

wondering where the week went. I've never really been one for drinking or clubbing on a weekend. I'm not that gregarious; I prefer to socialise in smaller groups with people I know well. I might be doing that on a Friday night, but more likely I will just be at home, with my computer on my lap and perhaps the TV on. Never in my life have I gone up to a stranger and asked them out. The prospect is both foreign and terrifying to me.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

By the time I turned 30 I had only had sex once.

You should message me if

I lent you something and you haven't returned it. Give it back, you bastard.

By the way, I am happily married to comedychick (whom I met on OkCupid in 2005). However we are both allowed to date others, so feel free to contact either of us. If you do though, then please follow through. One of my traits is reliability: if I say I'm going to do something, I do it. So I would rather you didn't contact me at all if you don't plan to reply to emails or to meet up when you say you will.
